TAYLOR, TX — Sam Dowdy has been a contractor for 22 years. He has done a lot of insurance work in that time and dealt with a lot of insurance companies. His company, S&D Plumbing Co., is the only “preferred” plumbing contractor for a major insurance company in Austin, TX. It would be safe to call him an authority on insurance claims involving plumbing issues.
That’s why the latest black mold hysteria has prompted Dowdy to come up with his own method of protecting his company in the event of a black mold lawsuit. It’s an “Agreement of Release, Indemnity and Assumption of Risk” form associated with the performance of plumbing services — those with black mold ramifications.
